Abstract
One embodiment provides a method. The method includes receiving, with a computing system, stylus orientation data representing an orientation of a stylus. The method includes receiving, with a computing system, grip characteristics data representing a grip on the stylus by a user. The method includes identifying, with the computing system, a stylus mode for use by the computing system, at least partially based on the stylus orientation data and the grip characteristics data. The method includes applying the stylus mode to the computing system to interpret interaction data representing interactions of the stylus with the computing system.
Claims22
A method of determining a stylus mode of operation from stylus characteristics comprising:
- receiving, with a computing system, stylus orientation data representing an orientation of a stylus;
- receiving grip characteristics data representing characteristics of a grip of a user on the stylus;
- identifying, with the computing system, a stylus mode for use by the computing system, at least partially based on the stylus orientation data and the grip characteristics data;
- and
- applying the stylus mode to the computing system to interpret interaction data representing interactions of the stylus with the computing system.
A computer readable device having instructions, which if executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform a method of determining a stylus mode of operation from stylus characteristics, the instructions comprising:
- receive, with a computing system, grip characteristics data representing characteristics of a grip of a user on a stylus;
- receive, with the computing system, stylus orientation data representing an orientation of a stylus;
- identify, with the computing system, a stylus mode for use by the computing system, at least partially based on the grip characteristics data and the stylus orientation data;
- and
- apply the stylus mode to the computing system to handle interaction data representing interactions of the stylus with the computing system.
A system comprising:
- a stylus sensor to generate interaction data representing interactions of a stylus with a computing system;
- processor circuitry;
- and
- memory circuitry communicatively coupled to the processor circuitry, the memory circuitry to store instructions, which if executed by the processor circuitry, cause processor circuitry to perform a method of determining a stylus mode of operation from stylus characteristics, the instructions comprising:
- receive, with a computing system, stylus orientation data representing an orientation of a stylus;
- receive grip characteristics data representing characteristics of a grip of a user on the stylus;
- identify, with the computing system, a stylus mode for use by the computing system, at least partially based on the stylus orientation data and the grip characteristics data;
- and
- apply the stylus mode to the computing system to handle interaction data generated by the stylus sensor.
